Abstract In this investigation, we delve into the interplay between strong interactions and intricate topological configurations, leading to emergent quantum states such as magnetic topological insulators. The crux of our research centers on elucidating how lattice symmetry modulates antiferromagnetic quantum Hall phenomena. Utilizing the spinful Harper-Hofstadter model enriched with a next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hopping term, we discern a half-filling bandgap, paving the way for the manifestation of a quantum Hall insulator characterized by a Chern number, $C = 2$. Upon integrating a checkerboard-patterned staggered potential ($\varDelta $) and the Hubbard interaction ($U$), the system exhibits complex dynamical behaviors. Marginal NNN hopping culminates in a Neél antiferromagnetic Mott insulator. In contrast, intensified hopping results in stripe antiferromagnetic configurations. Moreover, in the regime of limited NNN hopping, a $C = 1$ Neél antiferromagnetic quantum Hall insulator emerges. A salient observation pertains to the manifestation of a $C = 1$ antiferromagnetic quantum Hall insulator when spin-flip mechanisms are not offset by space group symmetries. These findings chart a pathway for further explorations into antiferromagnetic Quantum Hall States.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
